Adding to Events w/out importing

I'm uploading hours of video to an external hard drive via the family's main PC. It'd like to work with the video in iMovie on my Macbook. iMovie sees the drive and the video files-- can I create Events in IMovie for this video without having to import it onto the Mac? (the way iTunes can list music on different drives)
I would have preferred to use iMovie to capture all the video, but the external hard drive began life as a backup for the PC, and I didn't want to reformat.

You will need an external drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). Your current drive is most likely FAT32 (for windows). The Mac can read and write to this, but it will not work for iMovie.
You can either get a new drive, or reformat your current drive - but reformatting will erase everything on it, so you need a second drive anyway.
Once you have a properly formatted drive, you can move all your video to a folder called "iMovie Events" at the top level of the external drive. You can have subfolders under this folder. These subfolders will be the Events.
As long as the events contain a codec that iMovie can handle (like DV, MPEG4, AIC, etc., then iMovie will recognize these events the next time you start up iMovie with the external drive connected.
The first time you do this, it will take some time to generate the thumbnails. But you only have to do that once.

How do you edit the event title after importing?

I still have not figured this one out. It's not double click, not control click, not command click, not the "info" or "edit" buttons. What is it?
I am also frustrated with merging and splitting events after import. I am now doing all that in the finder before I import. What a pain! Any tips?

I don't like iPhoto '11 either.
1. I can't change the name of the multiple events in the import window as it was possible in earier versions of iPhoto.
2. It is not possible to merge events anymore in the import window.
3. When I get back to the Events view directly after importing new pictures, the most recently added events do not show up.
4. Worse, multiple earlier events seem to have disappeared all together.
5. When quitting iPhoto, I get the message 'updating library'. After restarting iPhoto, the recently added events do show up without a name but just with a date. Then I can rename and merge these events. The events that had disappeared do show up again.
All together, this feels like a very crappy and cumbersome upgrade...
How do I get the correct functionality back, apart from downgrading to an earlier version of iPhoto?

How to delete only events I previously imported from .ics files?

I have a very frustrating problem. A few months ago I added a few .ics calendars and merged them with my main calendar on iCal. For example I added a list of dates of baseball games for my favorite team, a list of holidays in Britain, and a few other .ics files.
Then tragedy struck: I synced my Blackberry to my Macbook and iCal and then somehow all the dates on the imported .ics became one day earlier. For example, valentine's day, which should be February 14, is on February 13 on my calendar. And Christmas is on December 24, rather than December 25.
Strangely, all the events that I manually added (such as my business meetings), are correct and were never changed. Only the dates/events from the imported .ics files changed.
I have waited a few months, but the frustration is just too much. I can not easily delete my main calendar, because it literally has hundreds of business meetings spread out over a 6-9 month period.
So my question is this:
a) Is there a way to move all the date back 1 day for only things imported from .ics? All these holidays and events are i a small purple oval at the top of each date, so they are definitely look different than the business meetings I entered, so I hope there is a way to selectively move them.
b) Is there a way to delete all those events and then try re-importing them?
Tks for your help!

Right, I only have 1 calendar. Ok, I did this but nothing seems changed. Here is what I did:
I followed your directions and it ran for about 4 min and I heard my fan starting up and my Macbook slowed. Then things got better and my iCal crashed. I forgot to close it before I ran this I received no error message, but nothing changed in iCal and all the One Day Events were still there.
So I then had the iCal closed, and attempted all steps again. Again it ran for about 4min, things slowed on my computer to a crawl, then got better. Then the Apple error window opened and said again iCal quit unexpectedly (I had not started it in the first place, but I assume the script had to open it to do the work, right?).
So now I'm back where I started -- it seems like the script was doing something but it didn't do anything to my one day events
I REALLY appreciate your help!

BGP Event-Based VPN Import

Hi Guys,
I came across this command, but have problem understanding what it does or how to use it:
Router(config-router-af)# import path selection {all | bestpath [strict] | multipath [strict]}
It falls under the "BGP Event-Based VPN Import" section:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/ios_xe/iproute_bgp/configuration/guide/2_xe/irg_xe_book/irg_event_vpn_import_xe.html#wp1059052
Does anyone know what this does or how this works?

Hi,
It specifies the BGP import path selection policy for a specific VRF instance.
You might be aware on VRF-LITE, that's the VPNs without MPLS.
BGP Event-Based VPN Import
The BGP Event-Based VPN Import feature introduces a modification to the existing BGP path import process. BGP Virtual Private Network (VPN) import provides importing functionality for BGP paths where BGP paths are imported from the BGP VPN table into a BGP virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) topology. In the existing path import process, when path updates occur, the import updates are processed during the next scan time, which is a configurable interval of 5 to 15 seconds. The scan time adds a delay in the propagation of routes. The enhanced BGP path import is driven by events; when a BGP path changes, all of its imported copies are updated as soon as processing is available.
When you use the BGP Event-Based VPN Import feature, convergence times are significantly reduced because provider edge (PE) routers can propagate VPN paths to customer edge (CE) routers without the scan time delay. Configuration changes such as adding imported route targets (RT) to a VRF are not processed immediately, and are still handled during the 60-second periodic scanner pass.
Import Path Selection Policy
Event-based VPN import introduces three path selection policies:
•All—Import all available paths from the exporting net that match any route target (RT) associated with the importing VRF instance.
•Best path—Import the best available path that matches the RT of the VRF instance. If the best path in the exporting net does not match the RT of the VRF instance, a best available path that matches the RT of the VRF instance is imported.
•Multipath—Import the best path and all paths marked as multipaths that match the RT of the VRF instance. If there are no best path or multipath matches, then the best available path is selected.

Just added an event to iPod Touch's calendar!

I was one of the assumed many who have not yet bought an iPod Touch due to the lack of ability to add/edit calendar events and contacts.
I walked into an Apple store yesterday just to check it out, like I normally do, and I was playing with the iPod Touch for a bit and noticed a little plus icon at the top of the calendar. I thought that was odd since you couldn't add events, but I pushed it and sure enough, an add event screen popped up and I successfully added an event to the calendar. I was amazed that I hadn't heard anything about this yet. I also checked out the address book and sure enough, I could add a contact as well.
Looks like I'll be getting an iPod Touch this Christmas!

Yes, it was added in the 1.1.2 update.

After upgrade from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 11, my events were out of order

Yesterday I upgraded from iPhoto 8 to Iphoto 11, purchasing the app from the Mac app store. After it went through the upgrade process of the library of 18,000 plus photos, I found my 858 events were out of chronological order in many instances with no rhyme nor reason. They were previously sorted oldest at the top (2006) and newest at the bottom.
I went through and laboriously dragged them into the correct order then imported two lots of photos to find those events at the top. So the top row now reads, Event 2011-02-25, Event 2011-03-05, with the third one Event 2006-07-4 etc.
Help. I can't see how to fix this.

Hi No1jmb: Try this. Select Events from the left pane, select View, scroll down to "By Date", then select Ascending or Descending.
Hope this helps

Split up of events into clips, imported from VHS cassettes

I have been trying to split up events which I imported from different video cassettes, they import in one big clip into one event, but the thing is I need to split up this event into several independant events, I dont seem to be able to find a solution,
Bye for now, Peter

I am assuming that once you have split up your Event you will create a Project for each of them in order to do your editing etc.
What you could do is create several Projects from the one Event, thereby achieving, hopefully, the same thing.
Try this.
From your Event create new Project ie File -- New Project.You could call this Project 1.
At top of screen select iMovie then down to Preferences.Select the Browser tab and click on "Clicking in Events Browser selects entire clip " Close the Imovie Preferences.
Click on your big clip in your Event and a yellow box will surround this whole clip .You should see that the left and right sides of this yellow box have what look like small loops or handles. Click and hold down on the handles and move the sides (left or right ) to the position where you want to start and finish a particular section.You can view these positions on your screen as you move left or right, let go of mouse when in wanted position.
You might want to expand your clip using the slider at bottom right of the Event before doing this to give you more visibility and control.
When you have positioned the left and right handles to your liking, ( covering say the first 20 minutes of your Event ) click in the yellow box, hold down and drag to your project.
Now create a new project--- Project 2 and repeat the above for the next section of your Event, and so on untill you have covered your entire Event.
If you wanted to break up your Event into say 5 sections, you have 1Event but 5 Projects.( Instead of 5 Events and 5 Projects)
Each Project can be edited as you wish.
Moving the handles left and right takes a bit of getting used to at first but you will get the hang of it quite quickly.
Hope this achieves what you were trying to get to.

How to find out important fields in table like MARA?

How to find out important fields in a table for example like MARA?
Details: In R/3 or ECC table for example MARA;
1) How to find out what are the important fields?
2)Does the table have only key figures not characteristics right?
3) There are so many tables in FI; Can you please tell me what are the important tables?
4) There is any easy automatic way to figure out that the particular datasource for example 2lis_02_item is pulling data from so and so table. I like to know the process not the results please.
Thanks in advance.
York.

Hi York,
Let me go by points:
1. There is nothing like important fields ... The question could be Key fields ... the fields which identify a record uniquely ... If you go to SE11, and go inot the dispaly of MARA table ... you will see that there is tick mark under key to indicate that the field is a key field ... All the fields which are so marked would identify a record in the table uniquely. If your question is otherwise ... (Important fields) ... then it depends on the purpose you wnat to meet ... Some fields might be important for me but not for you ... so there is not hard nad fast rule for important fields.
2. No... Tables in R/3 or ECC would contain both Key figures and characteristics.
3. Important tables in FI would be BKPF, BSEG and BSET.
4. The procedure for finding out which table are used by say 2lis_02_item would be different from that of other non LO/LIS extractors.
In case of LO/LIS turn on the trace (below process) while populating the setup tables and for thoers while executing RSA3.
1. Open one session and go to ST05, click on "Activate Trace"
2. Open another session and execute the transaction you want to track for the tables it is going to hit.
3. Go to the session of point 1 above and click on DEACTIVATE TRACE
4. Click on DISPLAY Trace
This will show you all the tables that were hit while extracting data. Point to remember here is ... it will hit some standard tables as well ... so you will have to filter out what is relevant from what is not.
Hope this helps.
best regards,
Kazmi

The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured

The headteacher has just upgraded his Ipad to I07 and when he goes into the school shared calendar any all day events come out red and then other events on that day are obscured as the red covers the whole day

I have the same proble. In all views all day events don't show up. If I search for the event, there is a result but it does not appear in the calendar.

Iphoto not making events from recent import

I just recently imported about 100+ photos from my camera. All of them appear in last import and I believe the last 12 months. However it didn't make an event for the import which it has in the past. Plus the images don't appear in "photos" either.

If only 12 photos, try manually deleting the photos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
Then take a couple of photos and try again.
If this doesn't work and a Restore from your iPhone's backup doesn't work, the next step to take is restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

I am trying to load a calpatch to a program called Caldera, but i keep getting the following “AppleScript Error – Terminal got an error:apple event timed out ( -1712)” my IOS is Yosemite, and i am running the latest version of the caldera program

Hi Linc, thanks for this ... it is weird, we tried this previously, but we only did a restart.
This morning our Mac was 'off' even though we hadn't turned it off, (maybe a power outage) I restarted and ran the calpatch immediately, and it worked !!
it is embarrassing, because as a service engineer, I am always telling customers to restart and even power down completely before trying again.
Thanks.
